# as I said last night
hacking cunts
blaming sony is like telling a rape victim she was asking for it

# Does Sony not have a duty of care to it's customers then?
I would not expect to be mugged in a diamond shop, for example.
(I helped save b3ta! Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 8:46, archived)
# yes they do
and it would seem they had pretty rigorous security seeing as its taken the hackers over 4 years to break it.

But I'm not blaming Sony for some cunts being fucking cunts.

Or are you suggesting the diamond shop owner was in on your mugging and told them when to call, how to get in through the security door and which guns/weapons to use to gain access to your belongings?
(I helped save b3ta! HappyToast Groat froth, Wed 27 Apr 2011, 8:53, archived)
# I'm suggesting that the diamond shop's security failed to keep the mugger out or at bay.
Just as Sony failed to keep the hackers out, and thus are responsible.

If your bank account gets hacked, what is your response? Seek recompense from the bank because they're insured, or say "The poor bank, being subject to such an awful attack"?

# we're talking at crossed purposes I think
I'm talking about blame, not compensation
Sony aren't to blame for cunts being cunts which is what most people seem to be doing around t'internet

# Not really. If Sony offer a service to clients, I'd say they have a duty of care to those clients to protect them from beasties and nawties.
I would go so far as to project that I would believe that to be a significant part of the relationship that people value when employing Sony by buying their service.

Thus if Sony fail to keep out hackers, then it is Sony's failing, and they are to be blamed for that failing.

they did not "give" information away, it was stolen.

If I was one of the people who had had their data nicked, I may well be tempted to describe it as Sony "giving" it away.

Which is disingenuous at best.

# in all honesty
a) are you having a polite conversation?
or b) are you just dragging this out because you have something against me (as you seem to keep doing this when I dare to speak on this site)?

I wasn't being disingenuous, I genuinely believe that people are levelling their blame at the wrong place and stupidly dared to comment on it which is obviously worse than thread deletion and spam. Sony did not simply give away information, they did not stand out on a street randomly handing it out to strangers. And they did not ask to be targeted in the same way a rape victim does not ask to be raped.
Are you saying a rape victim is to blame for not carrying a gun to defend themselves? or that they "gave away" a sexual liaison?

# At the moment I believe the data is ssafe.
Despite denials this will turn out to be Anonymous or at least someone working under the umbrella of Anonymous ( be that 'officially or otherwise). The problem now lies with the value of the data and the scruples of the persons holding it.

This was a protest attack on Sony but there now exists an immensely valuable commodity and it may be beyond the ability of those holding it to keep the cat in the bag.

# Sony releases new information, credit card and private information may have been obtained in hack.
Anonymous say they didn't do it, they're not the only hacker group on the net.

It wasn't a protest attack it was an LOIC attack to install a modified "Rebug" onto the dev console, they had no other choice than to shut the whole thing down.

# True about it being a valuable commodity...
I had an interesting conversation with Barclays this morning about card safety - the guy I spoke to said that "if the card details had indeed been swiped, that would be 7 million cards (or whatever the number of users it was) which was a huge amount, there was no way they could use all of those cards to make transactions etc, so it would be unlikely you would see any fraudulent activity..."

I couldn't decide whether he was being very naive, or actually had a good point

there is no reason for one fucking bit of info to be in plain text.
A hacker should be able to download the whole database and it still be of no use to them.

Sony's is at fault here. There is no reason for any of that data accessible through the internet.
